Message from the Director

Welcome to the UAA Radiologic Technology Program. Our program is very challenging,
but also exciting and stimulating, as is the profession of Radiology Technology itself. Students
are trained to perform diagnostic imaging examinations. They learn the art and science
of the profession through classes in anatomy, patient positioning, examination techniques,
equipment protocols, radiation safety, radiation protection and patient care. Students
are provided opportunities to attend practicum classes at local radiology departments. Departments
throughout the entire state employee graduates of our program and many of our former
students now have advance training in other modalities building on the graduate level
skills they learned through our program. We invite you to explore our site to see
if the UAA Radiolgic Technology Program is the right opportunity for you.
